ERROR_CLUSTER_INVALID_NODE

The name or node object supplied to a cluster command does not match a valid node in the cluster context. The common causes are a stale script value, a node name from another cluster, or a node that was evicted earlier.

What to check

  • List the nodes from the target cluster and compare the exact node name and state with the value used by the operation.
  • When managing a remote cluster, make the target cluster explicit so PowerShell does not resolve the request against the local cluster.
  • Check the cluster log if the node should exist but disappeared during a join, eviction, or membership change.
